The Lawn Bowlers get ready for new season

Monday

It’s time for another fun and challenging season of lawn bowling in Hot Springs Village.

The board of directors of the Village Green Bowls Club are reviewing the club playing, tournament and league rules, and also establishing the calendar for tournament and league play for 2013.

Tournaments are played on Saturday mornings, and league play is Tuesday evenings throughout the season.

The club will again host guests from the Lions Club Camp for the Blind on two days: July 9 and July 13, from 10 a.m. to noon each day.

Two sessions are scheduled to keep the number of bowlers at 20 or fewer so that all who wish to play can be accomodated. Volunteers from both the lawn bowlers and Lions members will assist the blind guests with their play.

The storage shed at the lawn bowling green was recently expanded by club members to make additional space for equipment needs.

The club thanks members who worked long hours and many days to provide the needed room. The completed section is awaiting installation of lights and additional outlet by the POA to complete the job.

Plans are being made to take part in the British Car Week National Meet scheduled for May 29 through June 1. A short lawn bowling tournament between the car clubs will be played on May 31 at 3 p.m.

An Open House will be held on April 6 at noon to invite Villagers to come out and try the game. Refreshments will be provided.

The club anticipates a great and fun season and invites any Villagers interested in learning about the game of lawn bowling and trying their skill to come to the Open House and/or come to any open bowling session.

These sessions are at 1:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays through the month of April. Beginning in May, open bowling will be at 8:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and at 7:30 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays.

Someone is always available to demonstrate, teach and play the game with you.
